I am a shy to start guy looking for a soft landing! I enjoy the company of gentle puppy pals, and may be most successful in a quiet, predictable home that can help me build my confidence. Prior to coming to ACAR, I had an old injury to my leg that unfortunately required an amputation but I am recovering nicely and am adjusting to my new life as a tri-pawd. Ask to see me today!

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Medium)

Story
Meet Lizzy! Lizzy’s story begins on a quiet country road during the 2025 holidays, where she was found alone, cold, hungry, and doing everything she could to survive passing cars and winter nights. Resourceful and determined, she made it through challenges no pup should ever face. Because she didn’t trust anyone yet, she had to be safely trapped before help could reach her — a sign of just how hard life had been. When she arrived at the humane society, she was covered in mange, bumps, and bruises. But even then, Lizzy never showed a single hint of aggression. Instead, she met every moment with quiet bravery. With medical care, gentle hands, and patient hearts around her, she began to heal — not just physically, but emotionally too. Her fur is growing back beautifully, and her spirit shines brighter every day. Lizzy is a fast learner who wants nothing more than to please her people. She already knows sit, lay down, shake, and wait. She’s even learned to sit calmly when cars pass, a big step for a girl who used to be so unsure of them. She loves to run and jump simply because it feels good, but she’s just as happy curled up in her chair or bed, gathering all her toys so they’re close by. Squeaky toys are her favorite—she delights in making them chirp. She walks politely in a halter and takes in new surroundings with thoughtful pauses, absorbing everything to make sure the world around her is safe. Lizzy adores ear rubs, dreams of being a lap dog, and will tolerate a bath if you ask nicely. She plays wonderfully with other dogs and has not had the opportunity to meet a cat face to face. She’s watched them through the window in awe of them. Spayed, recovering beautifully, and blossoming into the dog she was always meant to be, Lizzy is ready for a future filled with love, safety, and soft places to land.

Rocco

Labrador Retriever Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 10 yrs 5 mos
Gainesville, FL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
At 9 years old, Rocco has truly mastered the art of chill. This low-energy gent LOVES toys—not just playing with them, but sitting with them, napping with them, and carrying them like prized possessions. He’s a vocal guy with a big heart, a love for snacks, and a serious cuddling game once he knows you. Rocco walks great on a leash, lives for affection, and is happiest in a calm home where he can be your one and only. He’s not a fan of other pets, and new people can take a minute to warm up to, but once he does, he’s yours forever. He’s available as a foster-to-adopt, and his adoption fee is fully waived thanks to the Danny Boy Adoption Fund. If you’ve got a quiet home and a toy basket to spare, Rocco just might be your perfect match.
